Heatwave here: June 30 64 90 July 1 68 91 0.53" This morning's low was 74. Up to 85 shortly before 9am. Point and click warmer again with Friday at 101⁰

87.3 here at 8 53 am heat index at 96!!! Where I work( welding shop) just absorbs heat. Inside the shop it 114!!! The sun just bakes when it shines on the steel roof.

2012 had record May into June early melt ponding with the strong AD and AO blocking continuing through July. Then came the record early August storm leading to the steepest sea ice decline ever during the first half of August. No season since then has been able to put together those three factors. 2020 came the closest with impressive early melt ponding and the strongest AD and AO blocking since 2012. But the lack of a major storm in August and relaxing blocking as the month progressed allowed 2020 to finish just behind 2012. This season so far with lower pressures and colder temperatures from the late spring into early summer over the CAB is the opposite of 2020. So my guess is that as we head into early August 2012 will remain the leader. The 2007-2012 era was unique in that it featured consistent AD and AO blocking with plenty of May and June melt ponding. This quickly reversed in 2013 and continues to this day. The one thing we can say is that the historic Arctic sea ice thickness decline due to the loss from 2007-2012 of older ice has not reversed even with the more favorable summer conditions for retention since 2013. This has resulted in most of the seasons finishing in the 4.0 to 4.9 million sq km range. The finishes in the 6s and 7s haven’t been seen since the early 2000s. 2012 and 2020 were the only seasons to finish below 4million sq km.

That would be correct. And my station is in shade.

81 was my low. It is already 88 at 8:45 am.

Hundo plus here we come

DCA at 88/75. Yikes.

85F/DP 76F as we approach 9am.

Low of 75. Let's see how high we can go. My forecast for tomorrow got knocked down a couple degrees to 101 but remains at 103 for today. White MDT fell a degree short of tying the record high for yesterday, it did set a new record max min of 77. We'll have to keep an eye on those max mins in the days ahead, although I think the upcoming days' records are more like 80. Don't get me started on home station dewpoints haha. Here is a map of current dews.....

Currently 87/75 at IAD 8:44am EDT.

.17 last night with a few gusts and thunder. Seemed like we were about to get nailed but didn't amount to much.

Not rising as fast as one might expect for the advertisement - "90 by 9 am" is reasonable index finger method, and we're not going to make that. some 82's around but most sites are just 79 - with only 20 minutes of cooking time, it doesn't seem 90 as average site temperature by 9 am is very realistic. There is another adage that works statistically, though. "10 by 10" ... so we'll see where we are at that time. This could be a situation where that outflow stuff overnight swept through and processed out our launch pad - so we may just need the extra hour of process time to "catch up" to where we would have been if that did not take place. It's hard to run a historic high jump heat dunk day when the night before gets it's legs kicked out. It's going to be mid 90s T/ 70billion DP one way or the other so it's really all just for show beyond that combination of hell, anyway. Hell, tomorrow could end up being the winner in this stretch - that is, if high suppressing ridge heights do what they are physically supposed to do this time and actually not allow that kind of thing from timing that way. I did think that sweep through was a bit of anomaly for where we were with those +d(g)'s ...but, it might also be why that thing weakened pretty dramatically as it tried to get into a lower latitude- on the edge. But enough to cripple the morning T rise by that much. Tonight we are probably doing the 80+ in urbania. So we'll have the launch pad preserved. Even though some metrics are actually easing off by tomorrow, that better non-Markovian set up could offset and maybe we find ourselves with more of Levitra result.

84/79 already

88/76 HI 99 at my station

Saturday afternoon with frontal sag ..

Currently 81/70 here in MB. But c'mon, man..."stifling?" You Alexandrians are beastly PROS at handling triple-digit heat in summer...

08:30am 84F-79% humidity. DP 77. Yuck! Our low overnight temp is our seasonal high. How many days til Fall?

Beans and franks?

86/76/96 where i am. I think a lot of us will be 90 by 10-1030.

Corona, Ozone Park, Brownsville, and Astoria already at 90°. https://nysmesonet.org/networks/nyc Corona Temp: 90°F 3h Precip: --

Thursday low imby/Columbia 79.9°

Our home has trees 70-80 feet tall within 10 yards on 3 sides - 4th side same tree heights but 30 yards from the house. To make solar feasible we'd need to cut about a 3-year supply of firewood (5 cd/yr) and buy a new roof. No thanks. 2nd straight evening with all the action sliding to our south. Not even a flicker.

My low was 65.2 this morning. High yesterday was 98. A little too cool for the record which was 99 in 1959.

Should be another loud night for some tomorrow night
